Here's
a riddle: Is a catdog real?
Answer: Yes, when it comes
from Egypt.
Now here's the full
answer:
A cat mummy at the Albany
(NY) Institute of History & Art was recently CAT-scanned (of course)
by a veterinarian who wanted to study the mummy. The museum had acquired
the mummy in 1958, and everyone believed that the cat mummy on display
contained the remains of a cat.
But the veterinarian was
surprised to learn that the wrappings contained the remains of a dog
instead. The vet was so shocked that he asked other experts to verify his
findings, which they did.
According to canoe.ca,
members of the museum staff now refer to the mummy as "CatDog."
